The spotlight

Tuesday

HIS STORY: Patrick got into acting and singing because of his family - both of his parents work with the Augusta Opera. In eight years, he has been in about 20 musicals.

"I really don't have a favorite," he said, "but if I had to choose it would have to be Gypsy, because that was my first show and that was what really started my hobby in theater."

Patrick also sings and writes songs. Well, he tries to.

"My songs, I really can't say where they come from, because I don't know. Some of them I use other people's lyrics instead of my own, because I'm not a great lyricist. But even though I use other people's lyrics, it still comes out as a pretty good song."
